foundational looking and reading
- Read one accessible overview or anthology chapter and write down three methods of art-historical interpretation.
- Visit a local gallery, church, museum, public sculpture, or architecturally interesting building and choose a possible visual-response object.
- Start a visual diary with short observations on medium, composition, function, setting, and viewer response.
- Watch an official Oxford History of Art interview or admissions video to understand the tutorial-style discussion format.
